Reading the current thread has me thinking...took my '42 out last night, was having issues going into 2nd gear...slowed to a stop, slid into gear, and was actually in reverse.

So...pulled the cover/ect off, an notice my lower "ball" is not a ball, but a rounded "4 corner" square...as I mention in the other thread a reply was "the ball should be round".

So...can I heat mine with a torch, mig some material in, and round it up?

I have a guy coming this weekend to pick the truck up, and want to make it right before it leaves.

PS

Looking at the tower while shifting...I can see it's "feel" thing -as it is, to get it to engage 2nd gear...is my "squared off" ball, the issue?

Thanks.

I'll be able to pot pics in about an hour or so.
